2:06 pm
moment. you could do a different governance and what men sedan and currently that there is a political interest from the friends political hotties. there's additional men tense and actually what with one would be next solution. we cannot you, tamara, now, but according when you look at the submission, actually this edition with 10 him to wall because that different group that pro mill face and then the civilian and his pupil is your time. if there is no into benson's or barely does, on the prime minister in the prime is resign, or from day a mentioned was a young man. the deadline was status of our testers and also our class. and the clive reasonable into the country we, why i, we expect that people get to the streets and those numbers will continue to increase until i am the military. actually listen to all heed to their demands
2:07 pm
of my daughter's t while to denise people. additionally, there's going to be a lot of pressure coming from the region coming from the african union, and i bang to national pots list. remember that one of the difficulties that sudan has phased soon by his exit has been the fact that they have not been able to solve the very common request. and that way, the very basis for the over to of out of, by share. and we do know that the role of international partners has been very key in trying to do that. so the way forward is going to be tough. and there's going to be a lot of contestation between the civilian compliment civilians in the country when they are military leaders. and we hope that all this ice will be able to proceed on this side of caution and restraint. so that the testability of sudan will be paramount. the spot being banned by social media and anti jo bought in song call. let's go,
2:08 pm
brendan today finds itself sitting at the top of the hip hop shots in the us if you've removed rafa bryce engraves track, claiming contained medical misinformation. and the song take saying that president warden's bungled african withdrawal and his handling of the corona bar of defense. youtube said the platform doesn't allow claims about cobra. the conflict with medical guidelines to charge the artist himself to know if there's a 1000000 signs best out right now. and if you're trying to like say, i can't say for, i'm going to saw your bandit. that means you're bending my are that me, you bending my view of what's going on. you can band, aren't your band anything. i don't curse a minute. i make positive music and i have my views and my music. i don't even curse. and i'm the most sense, a robber in the world. how is that possible? i say what i believe in my song, everything i say my, my real life, i'm priest, and this is what i believe it should be a legal or social media company to be able to change their guy live every week. and then delete things that came prior to that. they asked for
2:09 pm
a plan with our free speech. nobody is messing with them. they're messing the bus. or the title of bryce in grey's head is out of the now infamous internet catch phrase. it went viral off nbc or a border was interviewing nascar racing. dr. a. brian and brown and said he heard the crowd shot. let's go. brandon. apparently failing to realize what people were actually shout. but now the sound comes as joe biden's approval rating is noticeably depth. according to a new survey, attorney sits below 45 percent. that's down 11 points since there's another ration in january, meaning his pope allowed. he declined faster than all his previous s. this seems the 2nd world war, russian grey again, think the president is finding the job tough going. i turn it to mean people. now larry will say, let's go brandy and me best perfect. somebody doesn't curse. back or so my the same
2:10 pm
for president biden, even call somebody paid us. there's nothing more similar to a dictatorship than what joe buyers currently doing. and what a lot of countries are going to try to segregate that's needed. i'm back from a to this because this is like jim crow to point out. meanwhile, the well medical watch. they'll continue to sell me law about the ongoing cobra pandemic insisting that can only be stopped one way the fundamental will and when the world chooses to ended, it is in our hands. we have all the tools we need effective public health tools and effective medical tools are increasingly empty. shelves are getting shop is in the u. s. nervously on the calendar. mid before to post holiday season is enclosed by a major disruption to the national supply chain over the past fortnight, with dozens of ships that us forth idling in the water's still waiting to be
2:11 pm
unloaded. and then because of course, wrecked havoc to the global supply chain. shortage of ford operators and truck drivers in the us as lead traffic jams at docs and mt shop shelves. the government claims reports have been overwhelmed due to surge and demand on a booming economy. the public, though, is not convinced, misled to get more gloomy reading for joe biden. over half of those quizzed and a new nationwide survey ministration is feeling badly with the could all that matters, concerns group further for some of the us transportation secretary took paternity leave for 2 months. i made a logistics crisis. lauren trend has all the details. let's talk about the outrage over p, buddha judge's paternity leave. the past few weeks have not been easy for the bite and administration. not only has congress failed to pass the 3.5 trillion dollar build back better infrastructure plan, but there have also been complaints across the country of supply chain issues with people noting things like empty shells that grocery stores,
2:12 pm
as well as higher prices for goods due to scarcity, and amidst these problems some people began to ask where exactly is transportation secretary p. buddha judge. after all, most people would assume that trying to promote the administration's infrastructure plan would fall under the purview of the transportation secretary. and not only that, but seeing as how many are blaming the shipping crisis, at least in part, on ports in california, being backed up with shipping containers, it would make sense to assume that this is exactly the kind of problem that the transportation secretary should be involving themselves in and yet as the country would soon find out the reason why p booted judge was nowhere to be found was because apparently he had been on paternity leave for the past 2 months. you see earlier this year, a secretary to judge and his husband chase and welcome to newborn twins into their family as the 1st openly gay cabinet official and u. s. history secretary booted judge, becoming a father of course, made national headlines in august. but what was not reported on was the fact that
2:13 pm
he would be taking 2 months off of his job, paid for by us taxpayers. and this has drawn a lot of criticism because in the united states, even paid maternity leave is not federally guaranteed. let alone paternity leave for months for adoptive fathers. and so even those who are supportive of the concept of paternity leave have question whether it's appropriate for a government official to take such an extended break. while so many americans are denied the same privilege and not only that but others have also noted that even if people to judge were to be given maternity leave. surely the nation going through such a serious supply chain issue should be reason enough for him to re and to work and still others have brought up that if a transportation secretary can actually go missing for 2 whole months with nobody really noticing, perhaps the role isn't as vital as the administration would have us believe, and certainly not vital enough to warrant 2 full months of paid leave. in any case, since our ridge over his lease began to mount secretary buddha judge has since
2:14 pm
returned to work and is absolutely on the defense regarding supply chain issues. he's attempted to dismiss them as simply americans doing too much shopping and overwhelming stores with demand. and additionally, regarding the criticism of his paternity leave, buddha judge is now trying to spin the situation into a way to advocate for federally guaranteed at paid family leave. and even though under the trump administration, a cabinet official leaving the job for 2 full months during what is, are you, we, a national crisis would have absolutely sparked the ire of the mainstream media when it comes to soccer table. to judge outlets like nbc have actually come to his defense, trying to argue that criticisms of him are actually due to homophobia. when it comes to problems, things like inflation, a broken foreign policy platform or growing political division people. the judges paternity leave is far from the biggest threat facing the united states. however, i think of nothing else. this whole scandal does illustrate the fact that there is
2:15 pm
no shortage of bad news for the bite administration or it's supporters. vaccine donations, my western countries are failing to match initial pleasures. so says the people's vaccine alliance, whose latest report concludes pharmaceutical companies on which sites are contributing to job inequality globally, reflect walks, firms unmarried, who's also the policy lead for the peoples of action a lot. what we've seen is developing countries receiving an endless pipes of to be frank, inadequate gestures of support followed by these broken promises. and it should be a cause of international shame. i think the biggest and the data that we've released show is what we've known all along developing countries simply cannot and should not have to rely on the goodwill of rich countries, all pharmaceutical companies. they're not delivering what we need or the right from the recipes of these things to be shed, so that we can scale up manufacturing and developing the sustainable of
2:16 pm
the documents, named a dose of reality, underlines that nearly 2000000000 cobra vaccine shots were initially promised by wealthy nation, however, only 14 percent of those have been delivered to countries most in needs. in fact, just one and 50 people in low income nations are fully vaccinated with the people's backs and alliance is crystal clear, and who exactly share the blame for those figures. namely, high income state, the u. k. for one promise about 100000000 doses to kovacs that worldwide initiative aimed at fair access to cobra vaccines. but so far as the liberal, less than 10 percent of that amount of canada of the country, $40000000.00 doses promise there has seen only 8 percent of that figure. actually the limit the ox farms are unmarried. once again, believe the pharmaceutical joints have monetize the pandemic. patients when never designed full pandemic for public health emergencies. they should not in any
2:17 pm
situation get in the way of saving lives. and that is exactly what is happening now . but i think we also really have to remember that billions of dollars and your rise and i'm pounds that have been put into the development of these vaccines. it wasn't the investment of pharmaceutical corporations, all of that. shareholders that made these vaccines possible. look, astrazeneca looked at madonna, almost a 100 percent puppet be financed. this is tax pans, money that paid for the rapid development at these vaccines based on decade of research that was also public. the finance didn't about peyton's providing incentives. this is about peyton's protecting that monopolies and the grotesque profits of pharmaceutical corporations. they have already made billions out of this pandemic. it's time to share the recipes, the right to produce them, so that we can get this virus under control. facebook will blow
2:18 pm
a prompt is helgrin house that i testified to u. k. members of parliament. her work on was just lation to crack down on home, full infinite content. it comes off to reappearance in the u. s. senate where she cues, facebook of spreading misinformation. hate and violence comes back and says only a tiny sliver of con, our platforms hate are only tiny slippers violence, one, they can't detect it very well. so i don't know if i trust those numbers, but to it gets hyper concentrated in, you know, 5 percent population. and you only need 3 percent of the population on the streets to have a revolution. and that's dangerous. the inner workings, all facebook have now been further exposed as whistleblower, france is hog and has been testifying in front of m. p. 's own the social media giants failure to protect the public from this really harmful content. now it's been a pretty long testimony indeed. and has been very explosive to, with all sorts of allegations regarding safety and center censorship plus of course,
2:19 pm
algorithms and their power to really to store people's news feeds on their social media. and also the content flow of course as well. now, all of which she says has a pattern of negligence. now, one of the stand out quotes from the testimony today is that the platform is undoubtedly making hate was. so of course she was speaking to the parliamentary committee here in westminster, who is scrutinizing at the proposals for the online safety bill. it's a landmark piece of legislation that could really set the tone for social media regulation across the world. now, francis, how going to former employee of facebook says now is the time to act. and facebook's encryption, which are essentially ambitions to make the site unless at transparent, will actually make it easier for bad actors to strike. now that could be on one end of the scale of espionage operations by hostile states. but then also i want to more pass no level, it could be hate crime. and those people sharing
2:20 pm
a legal content. now that is an opinion that really is quite hand in hand with the government, which is looking to ban anonymous profiles. would you consider that legislation to remove right to anonymity social media? i want to look at everything and there is what taken place already. now clearly the online place we see 40 much cruelty on mine. and i think all of us have responsibility and duty to work together, and i do think working together is part of the solution here. sadly, at a time when we need to be taking more action, facebook up to see an end to end encryption plans that place the good work and progress achieve so far in jeopardy. it's worth looking through some of the aspects of this bill, especially it's in it's draft proposal form. so essentially all companies need to protect people from a harmful content such as hate crime. there's also though, of course, an emphasis on protecting children from inappropriate content and sexual exploitation
2:21 pm
and abuse. so we're talking about the companies you'd expect, like facebook, twitter, tick, tock, youtube are all of which will need to tackle this content that's lawful, but still are harmful to the public. of course, that's a really tricky area to cover. it basically applies to abuse and misinformation think right now in particular, all of the different dates are and content on cove. it vaccines or even the pandemic as a whole. so to try and get through and navigate this blurry line, the bill will also now be potentially banning the anonymous account in the hope that people will no longer want to be hiding behind the computer screens. no hiding behind a fake account either. however, some key players in the civil liberties. our platforms are basically saying this is a really slippery slope for government surveillance. and of course a pass or lack of privacy. this is a terrible position to take encryption benefits users and m whistleblowers world
2:22 pm
wide. it's essential to privacy and security. so huggins, who argued directly against anti monopoly action against facebook is now parlaying her new phone celebrity, to defeat its plans for and to when encryption more and more looks. she's in this for more government surveillance and censorship. this a logical position supports you key, and us government launch turned in demonization of encryption in the interests of must surveillance today. yet again. frances, how going to really shining a light. in fact, putting all the flood lights on a real need to keep people safe. but in testimonies like this one, it really does expose how difficult it is to get that balance right, particularly online to protect people, but also to protect privacy. to we discuss the issue with brendan o'neill. she political rights at spiked, he disagrees with. frances happens arguments and thinks that new proposals should be reconsidered. i disagree with
2:23 pm
a lot of what progress has been said. i think she's pushing a problematic argument. this idea that social media platforms are very dangerous. they need to be firmly controlled. the people are at risk and one of the most problematic arguments i think is the idea that we should ban online anonymity. so people would not be allowed to be anonymous online. have a real issue with because lots of people need to be anonymous. they need to be anonymous because they could lose their jobs if they express their opinion. because we know that it's become much more difficult to express controversial views about transgender isn't, for example, or about many other issues. and people prefer to do that behind an anonymous account. so i think we're going down a dangerous road. and i think if we don't pull back and have a sync about what we're doing, we will end up regretting it. and the u. k. crock! down on facebook, russia is training sites on another tech giant. google has just paid most of its
2:24 pm
out signing fines. clocked up for, want anything russian law by failing to remove band content. the stand off is fall from over though, but regulate is say the u. s. has no signal, great willingness to comply. ortiz, danny armstrong reports from the capital. here in moscow, a monday the state duma has met with google representatives where the multi tech giant has actually agreed to commit it to russian law and to work closely with russian authorities. of course it rushes. s media watchdog cross. com that is or has had a massive m say in what's been going on in google and some of its, i have been content. it has been m a, an ongoing process. it said to delete some of that ban content, but it has been a process, a process that has yielded or some, some rewards and some advantages at now, despite google not deleting around about $2600.00 bits of band material air by october. that figure is down by about of about half air from the 5700 bits of
2:25 pm
illegal content. and that were around in, on google's a space on line air back when these 2 sized met in april. so in half a year has been down by a half now, although there was a side say that is a good job. it's far from ideal. now, rushes into their foreign affairs commission. chief vassily pissed carry off. says that could be down to some convenient community guidelines. now let's just hear what he had to say in those meetings on monday, moscow or yesterday, or was this what it is? it's not right if google gives its own rules priority over our own broadcast laws, which but during our meeting, which lasted over 2 hours, google demonstrated a willingness to comply with russian law and state bodies who claim they have paid most of those fines. now some sources say that is around $32000000.00 roubles just under half a $1000000.00, but the russian government has been quite hard line in their stance. they say, if this content isn't deleted, those funds will only go up and their stance towards google will get harder. now
2:26 pm
another issue that was raised in those monday meetings was the issue of the deletion from you to the google owned company of artes, sister channel r t deutsche. without warning. and without the possibility of restoration, a $700000.00 view ship completely wiped out in just a click of a button as it were. now, although the reasoning at the time was quite hazy, that was for violating community rules and community guidelines. as it was said, a back then a pissed gary of his said he has raised the issue in the meetings today. but those reasonings and those answers that he got were also, are still questionable and far from satisfactory. as so, as you can see, russia standing firm on foreign sack and foreign interference as it were. although steps have been made there to get some kind of progress. and between the 2 sides is still many steps to be taken before. both can meet each other in the middle on what they regard illegal content. now somebody else taking
